Yours is the "No Cents" variety, the rarer of the two varieties
so it depends on what you paid for it.

do not use overhead lighting. it creates too much glare and we cant see the surfaces properly to determine originality. looks AU55 or maybe 58. it could be cleaned which would details the coin and reduce its value.

if you want to post better photos without the lighting we can take a second look at it. at AU55 or 58 you did ok if it grades straight. otherwise $11 would be maybe retail for the coin maybe a little more

jimmyD is incorrect. the CENTS version is the more rare

Glad to hear! Thanks for the responses. I'm going to be taking a backseat and watching how some coins grade here, I always like to guess but it's great seeing more experienced eyes put a grade on it.

$11 seems like a good price, but there's not a lot of spread on Numismedia for these - G4 to AU58 is $8 to $26.

Photograde seems to give much more leeway for gold than for silver. Yes? I've noticed that when I use it for your coin grading requests.

Staying on topic here, I'm in the AU 55 area but, the glare is making it difficult to grade. I believe that is "glare" more than "luster", correct?

Nice coin though and dandy prices. Good job!
